RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Telit
Wireless Solutions, a global provider of high-quality
machine-to-machine (M2M) solutions, products and services and GeaCom,
a company that is dedicated to increasing access to quality healthcare
through the development of innovative technology, today announced that
GeaCom has selected Telit’s HE910
mini PCIe data card to enable high speed mobile data connectivity
for Phrazer. Phrazer is an Edison Award winning CITE device that keeps
patient centered care at the forefront as healthcare regulations
continue to change.

Phrazer leverages M2M technology employed in the HE910 mini PCIe data
card to provide the same level of care received in hospitals by patients
in remote locations around the world. The ability to videoconference and
control each device remotely is a key benefit, as is the use of
culturally relevant on-screen caregivers to get the best, most accurate
information form patients. This allows the same high level of care to be
provided to patients regardless of languages, literacy levels, culture,
gender or background.

The U.S.-made Phrazer is FDA and HIPAA compliant. Phrazer has an
antimicrobial case and has been medically designed to be intrinsically
safe. Patient data is instantly inserted into the correct fields of the
clinician’s EMR system and real-time audio updates provide the caregiver
with timely, critical patient information.

“We selected Telit’s HE910 mini PCIe data card because it provides
high-speed performance on HSPA+ networks. Moreover variants having the
same mini PCIe form factor will allow us to market Phrazer globally,”
said Mat MK Johnson, Founder/CEO, GeaCom, Inc. “The combination of form
factor and high data rates are ideal for a compact product like Phrazer
that handles multi-stream audio and videoconferencing traffic.”

“Phrazer is an innovative device for a market rich in opportunities,”
said Mike Ueland, President of Telit Americas. “The HE910 PCIe
integrated in the device not only delivers high speed data for Phrazer
but also provides GeaCom the flexibility of expanding the reach of its
product with the use of the fully compatible DE910
PCIe EV-DO data card requiring no change to their application.”

The 3.75G HE910 mini PCIe data card delivers 21 Mbps-down and 5.7
Mbps-up data rates on HSPA+ networks and is fully compatible with its
EV-DO counterpart, the DE910 mini PCIe; thereby, providing connected
device makers the maximum range of options for North American cellular
operator support. The HE910 mini PCIe data card is particularly well
suited for devices with high throughput requirements such as mobile
computing, kiosks, PDAs, e-readers, tablet PCs, and consumer electronics
in general. Several variants are offered, ranging from low cost tri-band
models with reduced throughput, to fully-loaded configurations including
receiver diversity and high sensitivity A-GPS functionality.
